~ Creatively walking with whispers and shimmers

Tag Archives: thoughts

Deep underwater the pressure squeezes my entire being, a faint light flickers above, my feet are bound in seaweed and grass, my arms burn with exertion as I force myself toward that shimmer, my lungs are screaming for air as I clench my mouth and jaw shut resisting the unrelenting urge to breath in. With each stoke of my weakening arms the light expands, drawing from that light and almost as if it was pulling me I stroke again and again. Now only feet from that summit, that edge, I desperately covet. The closer I get the more my body supplicates for that life giving air, to be freed from that murky hypothermic water of bondage. Fire now burning within, my head crests and then explodes out of that wretchedness, my mouth unbolts with force as that sacred breath floods my lungs, my body lightens as that air brings me buoyant! Empowered I reach down and rip those shackles from my feet, the moon illuminates the shore her reflection becomes a path as I swim to life…

Paper to love our currency must transform, bringing true abundance and wealth.
Aggression in our action and tongue we smelt burning away the impurities revealing the truth which is our fear, Sitting with fear, with true compassion, courage and strength will transmute the venom to true medicine.
Bars and arsenals will melt into art of freedom and peace.

When one produces a creative work, they are bringing out what was within, a process of discovery and thought manifest. For the creator it can be a way of looking at something, a way of experiencing a thought sensually, be it visually, auditorily or otherwise.

When an outside person experiences the creators creation a type of communication takes place through an unwritten language of interpretation and even further discovery by the one experiencing the creation.

As a creator, to share the creation can be a very intimate and petrifying thing to do at first but like speaking in front of a crowd, with repetition it becomes more comfortable. Through this sharing of oneself, of intentionally becoming vulnerable it seems the creator frees themselves to some degree not only by overcoming the fear of vulnerability but by, I think opening up further ones creativeness and allowing it to flow more easily!

Here I will share a bit of myself with you below is a picture I took with the intention of play with the effects of light. So many thoughts come to mind when I look at this picture. Some of which are, movement, light, temporary, blending, spirit,… I see the briefness of our existence, the blending and interconnected-ness we all share, I see life in motion, light in motion, and so much more

Here are a few more for your enjoyment or stimulation of some sort…

Another thought that comes to mind while on this thread of creator and creation is that of a divine creator and the interpretations the creation itself makes not only about it’s self but about its creator. I will leave it there, Happy New Year!!

Creative thoughts and ideas seem at times to just appear in the conscious mind from no where, almost like some kind of revelation (a gift possibly?).
I love these moments and find these ideas seem to appear most during times of movement either while riding my bicycle or driving along an open highway. It’s almost like the act of physically moving causes my thoughts to move, to progress, to scroll forward. Like the propulsion of my body forward has a similar effect on my thoughts. I’m a picture kinda guy so here’s a picture to keep us moving along …

There are times too, when the thoughts seem to stop, when you are moving along on a project and all of a sudden, blank! Confused or at least unsure what the next step should be you try to force out a solution but the more you try the more it seems to be held in. Like when you lose something and you try and try to find it but can not, as soon as you let go of that struggle it seems though it comes to you and you remember where the lost item is. The same seems to be true with the solutions with our work, when we can step back, allow time and our minds to sort things out next thing you know, there it is! The solution! Seemingly obvious and yet it was obscured for some reason…

Totally unrelated just to share here are two pictures of migrating geese (I think). The second picture I thought was neat because the birds seem to be forming an outline of a mountain landscape.
